Hotels & Short-Term Apartments

While there are plenty of luxury hotels, you’ll be happy to know that there are a lot of inexpensive options in Italy, as well. One star, and even no star hotels can be perfectly accommodating, and hostels are located throughout the country. Religious institutes have opened up hotels as a way to make additional money, and can be very high in quality, although they may also have additional rules concerning curfews, or non-staying guests entering the hotel rooms. Short term tourist apartments are also available all over the country.

In Italy the star system is enforced. Hotels are ranked not simply by the quality of their rooms, but also by the extent of their facilities. For this reason you can find less expensive hotels which are very comfortable because their grounds don’t include additions such as a restaurant and bar.

Breakfast is generally included in rates, even for one and two star hotels. The simplest version of this is fresh bread or brioches, with coffee or hot chocolate. Feel free to decline additional meal options, since Italy is full of quality restaurants and bars.

Expect hotel rooms to be small, due to the density of the country and Italians’ ability to maximize space. One and two star hotels may be in old buildings with loud plumbing, and no lounge room. Service as Americans are accustomed to is famously lacking in all departments in Italy, including expensive hotels.

Be sure to book well in advance, especially if you’re arriving in peak tourist season, as hotels fill up. If you have special requests, or a famous hotel in mind, book even farther in advance.
